Nashville hot chicken, Korean corn dogs and Neapolitan-inspired pizza are some of the eats you can now find at the Denver Zoo.
, a local small business that launched its Denver Zoo residency restaurant this summer season.
In part, Carbajal’s interest in the location comes from a place of personal sentiment. “For me, [the Denver Zoo] is nostalgic," she says."The idea that we could take our product there and be a part of people’s memories was really important to me.” Carbajal purchased Simply Pizza Truck in 2019 with her husband, Amando, and her sister, Mary Rose. “I got them all drunk on my birthday and said, ‘Hey, guys, let's quit careers and make pizzas instead,’” she jokes. They agreed, and in March 2020, Simply Pizza Truck made its first appearance under new ownership at a festival in Steamboat.
These tasty components come together to form classic Neapolitan pies, as well as creative takes like Hatch green chile chicken pizza, which was featured on an episode of the Cooking Channel'sCarbajal describes her husband as the concept’s “culinary master,” adding that his exposure to Mexican cooking techniques results in some fusion flavors. “We’re following the trends and making sure that we're staying on point with what we're bringing to our audience," she says.
“We char the onions, and we ferment the vinegar and the eggs together to allow the thickening of the sauce. Then we blend it with salad oil and a lot of black pepper,” explains West. “So it's kind of creamy, kind of sweet, lots of acid — because as you know, it's a hot dog. It's predominantly fat. So you need something bright but that still has an immense amount of flavor.”
“We take a blend of creminis and buttons, roast them off to pull out all the flavors, and then we mix them with seasoning," Graves says of the patties, which are grilled and topped with melted Swiss cheese, roasted garlic mayo, mushroom ketchup, lettuce, tomato and onion.
